CHRONIC GRUAIBLERs.
a Glass Who Imagine that Railroads are
for Their Exclusive Benefit.

New YORK, July 11th.-The first case be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commission
to be adjusted by the refunding of an al
legged overcharge, is that of Mrs. j. H.
Stahl, of Walla Walla, w. T., against the
Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company.
Captain Bragg on behalf of the Commits
sion, forwarded the complaint to the rail-
road people, requesting an investigation,
and if it was found that an overcharge had
been made, that the money be refunded.
The companys attorneys have fled their
reply to the effect that the beer kegs, over
which the complaint arose, were shipped
from Milwaukee that the rates were fixed
by a company over which respondent
has no control, and that said rates were
not unreasonable or unjust Notwith-
standing this, however, the respondent SAYS
it has fully satisfied the complainant in
respect to all matters connected with said
shipment of beer kegs. Mrs. Stahls re-
ceipt for $50 in full settlement and COM
plete satisfaction for the overcharges is in
closed, and her complaint is withdrawn
Answers have been received bv the Com
mission from the Oregon Railway and Nav
igation Company to the complaints of
VIM. II. Reed and Milton Evans, of Walla
! Walla. These cases are said to practically
involve the interests of large wheat-grow-
ing region. Complaints are in substance
| that q charge of So per ton for the trans
portation of grain from Walla Walla to
Portland is excessive and unreasonable.
The company sets forth that its line be-
tween Portland and Walla Walla is con-
structed through rugged region, with
practically no intermediate traffic; that It's
operating expenses are greatly in excess of
the average expenses Of other lines, and
that it is frequently blockaded by snow
storms and earth-slides, which subject it to
extraordinary expenditures. The whole
traffic of freight and passenger between
! Portland and Walla Walla, inclusive
amounted during the seven months ended
May 81, 1887, to 5000, 405, and the operating
expenses for the same period amounted to
1892, 400. Wheat being the principal ar
ticle of transportation, the cars are neces-
sarily hauled empty one way. The COM
pany declares that the lowest charge upon
wheat from Walla Walla to Portland pre-
vious to the time the road went in opera
ton was $12 a ton that year by year, as
the country has increased in population,
the rates decreased, and that, in anticipa-
ton of a large yield in 1887, the rates have
already and voluntarily been reduced to
So ton, to take effect from July 9TH. It
AYERS that the adoption of the rates PRAYED
for-S3 ton-would make it impossible to
pay operating expenses, and would event
ually destroy defendants property as an
investment.

HAwAIpS QUEEN.
Kapiolani in New York-she Weeps Over
Home Troubles.

New YORK, July 11th-Queen Kapiolani
and party reached the Victoria Hotel from
the steamer at 1890. The Queen expressed
wish to return home as soon as possible
and consistent with the health of others of
her suit. After a half-hour's debate it was
decided to stop only a day or two at the
longest in New York. The Queen, who
had been inclined to tears when she first
heard the news of the Hawaiian revolution,
which was conveyed to her by Minister
Carter, grew more cheerful and chatty later
on. She said she had enjoyed her trip
immensely. She was received with dis
tinction wherever she went, and was par
ticularly impressed with the kindness OF
the Princess of Wales.
Regarding the troubles in the Hawaiian
kingdom, the Queen shrugged her shoul-
ders and said she put little, if any, faith in
the reports so far received OF course, this
morning she was startled when Minister
Carter translated the telegraphic reports,
but later on, upon mature deliberation,
she concluded there was more smoke than
fire, as the news all emanated from one
source, the Missionary party, which is at
the root of all the evil in the kingdom.
Colonel J. P. Boyd, the Queens Private
Secretary, said: We succeeded in floating
loan of 100000. English bondholders
who have in the past interested themselves
in Hawaiian finances took the bonds
These were issued by the Hawaiian Gov
ernment prior to our departure, and We
took them to England with US"

EDINBURGH, July 11th.-Andrew Carne-
gle publishes letter in reference to the
failure of Blaine to obtain admittance to
the Council Chamber last Friday, on the
occasion of the presentation of the freedom
of the city to the writer. In this Carnegie

Mr.. Blaine was thus retarded. Instead OF
Mr.. Blaine having any cause to complain

THE Boy As AN EscoRr.-It is a good plan
for mother and sister to depend, as it were,
on the boy as an escort. Let him help her
in and out of the Car. Let him have his
little purse and pay her fare Let him
carry some of the bundles. lie viii be de-
lighted to do these things and feel proud
that she can depend on him. A boy likes
to be thought manly. and in no better way
can he show his mauliness than by taking
his fathers place as escort Of mother or
sister. Teach him to lift his hat when
meeting a woman with whom he or his
family are acquainted, without regard to
race, color or position, for true gentleman
will lift his hat as readily to the woman at
the fruit stand with whom he has a speak
ing acquaintance as he will to the highest
in the land. He cares not for her position,
it is enough for him that she is q woman.
Teach him also to lift his hat when passing
a gentleman acquaintance with whom there
is lady, although the latter be a stranger
to him. All parents and members of the
family are proud of courteous boy, and
there is no reason why any boy cannot
become one if proper attention is paid to
his training. If his mind is turned into
this channel when young, there will be a
great deal he viii learn of his own accord

HALIFAX, July 11th.-The story of the
wreck of the steamer Merrimac, as told by
several passengers who arrived here to-
night, is one of the most remarkable in the
history of marine disasters. The people on

money and all kinds of valuable articles
stolen while the terror-stricken passengers

WASHINGTON, July 11th.-[SpeciaI. +
Speaking today of the three Senatorial
seats, belonging to Indiana, California ani
West Virginia to be contested at the com
ing session of the Senate, a member of
Congress said at is highly probable that
for part of the session at least all three
States will be without their full representa-
ton. The afidavits alleged to have been
filed against Hearst are said to have come
from an unexpected quarter. Should these
seats be vacant for any length Of time the
earnest manner in which tne Democrats
have been playing for Riddleberger's vote
will count for nothing, as the Republicans
will have clear majority. The opinion
has been expressed that Senators holding
certificates will as is the custom in the
House, be allowed to take their respective
seats pending the decision of the contests.
The Senators are not allowed to take anv
part in the proceedings if their credentials
are questionable, until the matter has been

ANTE LYNcHING SCENES.

Constable j. G. Thomson has been
granted permission from Sheriff Beyille to
give your reporter the details of the pro-
ceedings in the Jail yesterday. The first
business after getting the prisoner into the
Jail was the summoning of extra guards BY
the Sheriff. Several parties were sum
moned, and when questioned whether
they would perform the duties of guard or
not they declined, saying their sympathies
were on the other side. After consultation
with Judge E. A. Bridgford it was decided
that If anything was done to prevent the
lynching of the prisoner it would have to
be done by stratagem. On consultation it
was decided to try and remove him to some
other county, and an order was made by
Judge Bridgford permitting the Sheriff to
remove him. Upon investigation it was
discovered that owing to the Jail being so
closely guarded by Bilious friends it
would be an impossibility to get him out.
Thereupon Sheriff Beville, being satisfied
that the mob would be able to take the iail.
concluded, as last alternative, to secrete
him in cellar, the passage to which, was
by trap-door through the floor of the
bedroom adjoining the Sheriff s office
This plan appeared to be practicable, as il
was thought that no one knew of the ex-
istence of the cellar except the authorities.
1t was also concluded, as part of the plot,
to convey the idea outside that he had been
taken away. This plan met Sheriff Be-
villes views, as he said he did not want TO
undertake anything that would result in
useless loss of life and the destruction Of
property.

What Colusa People Say of the Affair
Verdict of the Coroner's Jury.
Copyright, 1887, by the California associated Iress
CoLUsA, July 1lth.-After the fynching
of Hong Di this morning the town re-
mained in possession of the lynchers. Dry
goods boxes were brought from all direc-
tons, placed in pile, and an effigy of Gay,
the juror, was placed upon the altar and
burned. About 200 of the crowd Joined
hands and formed circle around the fire
singing, Hang J. K. Gay on a sour apple
tree" and many other songs with similar
sentiments. The jubilee was kept till after
daylight.
THE VERDICT.
The jury rendered its verdict as soon as il
could be written. It is the best Coroner's
verdict, says Coroner Robinson, ''that has
ever been rendered in Colusa county, as can
be seen by the following"
We, the jury, summoned by the Cor
oner Of Colusa county, Cal, on the 11th
day of July, 1887. TO hold an inquest on
the dead body of Chinaman, do recog-
nize it as the body of one Ho All Heung
alias Hong Di, native of China, aged sew
enteen years, five feet four inches in hight.
After viewing the dead body and hearing
the evidence we find that he came to his
death by hanging on the morning of July
IL, 1887, by hands to the jury unknown,
growing out of and the result of the YER
dict of the trial jury in the Superior Court
OF Colusa county, Cal, July 10, 1887, who
by their said verdict outraged the memory,
the chastity, virtue and unimpeachab c
good character of Mrs. Julia Billion, lady
OF high, pure and modest worth, by pros
tituting the law, and savoring of perjury
and criminality by bartering justice to save
the life of willful, deliberate and ma
licious murderer, who had, on his own
sworn statement with malice aforethought
killed and murdered one OF Colusa coGn-
tvs purest and noblest women; and we
hereby censure and condemn the said trial
jury for said verdict so rendered by them,
to assert the dignity of the law and pro
claim by their verdict justice in the case
of The People of California VS.. Ho All
Heung, alias Hong Di."
